history
Until the church is planted
Already at the beginning of the 7th century the Main and Wern area was subject to the Merovingian Empire and Franconian settlers had settled here in large numbers. Alemannic, Thuringian, Warnish and Franconian populations mixed in the Werntal.
Historically, the place name Gössenheim 779 was first mentioned. The noble widow Hadaburch donated the Gössenheim area with all its houses and serfs to the Echternach monastery in what is now Luxembourg. Even at the time of Charlemagne, Gössenheim must have been a royal estate and a not insignificant place.
The Homburg (originally "Hohenberg") was built in stone in the middle of the 12th century at the earliest. In 1381 it passed to the von Bickenbach family by succession . In 1469 the place with the Homburg and the surrounding villages were sold to the Hochstift Würzburg, which was part of the Franconian Empire from 1500 .
In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
19th to 21st century
Gössenheim was a fortified village until about 1870, the center of which was surrounded by the ring wall, which is still partially preserved, and secured to the east, north and west. Today, Gössenheim is located on Bundesstrasse 27 between Karlstadt and Hammelburg and is part of the vicinity of the Gemünden sub-center in the Würzburg region.
The landmark of Gössenheim is the mighty castle ruin Homburg . The song festival on the Homburg, which has been taking place on Whit Monday since 1946 and attracts visitors from near and far, is known far beyond the borders of the surrounding area. The wine made from the vines of the new vineyards also bears the name of the castle ruin, namely "Gössenheimer Homburg".
